Although getting Calderon for Prince and Daye (did we get a draft pick out of it?) seemed uneven for us, I think the player’s roles are more clearly defined – the first time in years. There aren’t really any logjams anymore. Calderon and Knight starting with Bynum and Stuckey backing up. Singler at SF backed up by Jerebko or Maggette (where has he been?). Maxiell and Monroe down low, backed up by Villanueva and Drummond (or Kravstov for the next month at least).

This has cleared room for Bynum to play more and excel and to not have to worry about if Knight’s a true PG or not and if Stuckey should be starting or not. The only question left is the inevitable, “Should Monroe and Drummond start together?”

too many guards. we need to deal stuckey, knight, or bynum. Calderon is going to play 35 minutes most games, that leaves 20 minutes for bynum, stuckey, knight apiece unless we play small ball like we did tonight, which I really don’t think is ideal. Tonight we had 114 minutes from our guards, and only 95 minutes from our bigs and small forward. Which is not right considering there are only 2 guards and 3 guys in the other positions.

CV31 is finally playing and playing well like Dumars thought he would when he signed him.
The Calderon trade was genius. He is not only a veteran leader for this young team but will be a legit PG starter that we have needed since we got rid of Billups.
But Maxiell has been disappointing. He played 32 minutes against the Bucks with 4 PT/ 1 RB.
Drummond will take his place as a starter next year and either Slava or a FA veteran can back up Moose at center.
Next W against New Orleans at home.

I only got to watch about 15 minutes of this game live and then had to wait until Sunday evening to finish watching the game. I knew the outcome and I couldn’t wait to see it after reading all your comments.

What a great game!

Would I be jinxing this team by saying I think they’re Finally learning how to win games?
